The following information will help you locate and contact the field staff for the Office of Response and Restoration's three divisions:
- Emergency Response Division Scientific Support Coordinators (SSCs)
- Assessment and Restoration Division Regional Resource Coordinators (RRCs)
- Marine Debris Division regional staff
Scientific Support Coordinators (SSCs) • top
OR&R's Emergency Response Division (ERD) consists of an interdisciplinary scientific team that responds to oil and chemical spills in U.S. waters and helps the On-Scene Coordinator make timely operational decisions. The team is headquartered at NOAA's campus in Seattle; however ERD's Scientific Support Coordinators (SSCs), located around the country, lead the team at spills, drawing on the team's spill trajectory estimates, chemical hazards analyses, and assessments of the sensitivity of biological and human-use resources. OR&R staff members also represent NOAA and the DOC on the National Response Team and Regional Response Teams.

Regional Resource Coordinators (RRCs) • top
OR&R's Assessment and Restoration Division (ARD) protects and restores coastal habitats and resources affected by hazardous materials releases or ship grounding. All of ARD's efforts, from assessment to restoration, are coordinated at a regional level. ARD's Regional Resource Coordinators (RRCs) are NOAA environmental scientists who work to provide the technical foundation for assessments of ecological risk and environmental and economic injury from contamination at hazardous waste sites and to improve coordination among trustee agencies.
For general assessment and restoration regional issues, contact ARD Regional Branch Chiefs:
